How smashley started their logo design journey

Summary

We are looking for a site wide / company logo for WorldTV.com.

This site will shortly launch a high profile 2nd generation web video application.

The application allows a user to 'Create Your Own TV ChannelÂ™', pulling in videos clips from different websites such as YouTube, Metacafe, Break.com etc. The videos play back at your own personal URL, and in full screen.

We are looking for a logo to go with this new service.

Company name

WorldTV

What inspires you and how do you envision the design for your business?

Tagline:
Create Your Own TV ChannelÂ™

Desired Color Scheme:
See description

Desired Style:
Cutting edge, web 3.0, 3D or vector based. Should work well with the application screenshot listed in the description

Accepted File Formats:
Illustrator or 3D formats (as per description)

If you visit the site right now, you will see a logo designed in the program Poser several years ago. The new logo can either

a) Update or 'be influenced by' this logo, or

b) Be completely new.

(Unfortunately we lost the source files for the current logo a long time ago.)

We want something that will ideally sit just as well on a dark background as a light background, something that will also work well as a TV channel 'bug' - the little logo you see at the bottom right of a TV screen (e.g. MTV), and look good on company letterhead and documents.

If you are a 3D modeller and your design wins and has been built in a 3D program, we will offer a $100 bonus. This is so we can more easily animate it for TV style effects later. NB - THIS IS NOT A REQUIREMENT.

We are open to all initial ideas, and will endeavour to provide honest and practical feedback throughout the feedback process. We appreciate good design, and will tend to be more direct in our responses than perhaps some other contests.

We ask that you base the logo on the text 'WorldTV' with the strapline 'Create Your Own TV Channel'

Colors are up to you initially, but the logo should look good alongside the screenshot at http://www.worldtv.com/images/sitep…enshot.jpg . This screenshot will also give you a rough idea of where we are design-wise at the moment. We want to 'flesh out' this design later but it is a starting point.

We will aim to provide feedback once per day but this may stretch to once every 2 days on occasion.

We are always looking for good designers, we manage 20 sites, so this is also a good opportunity in general to show us what you're made of. From our last contest 4-5 weeks back we have granted $500 bonus work.
